Description

(1S,4R)-Bicyclo[2.2.1]Heptan-2-One CAS NO 2630-41-3 is a high-purity, chiral bicyclic ketone that serves as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its rigid, three-dimensional structure makes it an invaluable intermediate for constructing complex molecules with precise stereochemistry. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries, where it is used to develop active ingredients, chiral ligands, and novel materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) drugs and antiviral agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of chiral pesticides and herbicides, where its specific stereochemistry can enhance biological activity and environmental profile.
• Asymmetric Catalysis: Serves as a precursor for chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in enantioselective synthesis to produce single-isomer compounds.
• Fragrance & Flavor Chemistry: Employed in the research and development of high-value aroma chemicals and flavor compounds due to its camphor-like structural motif.
• Material Science Research: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the development of novel polymers with specific thermal or mechanical properties.
• Academic & R&D: A valuable reagent for methodological studies in organic chemistry, including new cycloaddition and rearrangement reactions.
